Neural Surround™ employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage with superior localization of surround elements. System playback is scalable from stereo up to state-of-the-art multichannel surround.

Neural Surround™ is trademark owned by Neural Audio Corporation.
